— YOUR PRIVATE ISLAND RETREAT —
Relax and experience island life in this stylish and peaceful private space overlooking the Caribbean.
Wake up to beautiful ocean views, enjoy your coffee while watching sailboats pass in the distance, and end your day as the sky transforms during a Caribbean sunset.
From the property, you can enjoy sweeping views toward St. Croix, Puerto Rico, Water Island and Hassel Island, surrounded by tropical greenery.
Your private retreat offers everything you need for a comfortable St. Thomas getaway, including A/C, a full private kitchen, strong WiFi and your own dedicated parking space.
— A/C + SOLAR & 4 TESLA POWERWALLS —
One feature that many first-time visitors don't think to look for when choosing a St. Thomas vacation rental is reliable backup power.
Power outages are a reality of island life and can sometimes last for several hours. Without adequate backup power, that can mean losing A/C, WiFi and other comforts during your vacation.
That's why we've invested in a large solar system with 4 Tesla Powerwalls designed to help keep the property comfortable and powered through extended grid outages.
Not all backup systems have enough battery capacity to handle a lengthy outage, which is why we feel this is such an important feature for our guests.
For us, reliable backup power isn't simply another amenity—it's an important part of making your stay comfortable and stress-free.
You're coming to St. Thomas to relax and have fun, not worry about whether the island grid is on!
— STRONG WIFI —
We know staying connected is important, even when you're escaping to an island.
The property offers strong, reliable WiFi, making it easy to stream, stay connected with family or get a little work done if needed.
— GREAT CENTRAL LOCATION —
One of the best features of this property is its location.
You'll enjoy a peaceful, private setting in the Frenchman's Bay area while still being conveniently located for exploring St. Thomas.
Nearby you'll find beaches, restaurants, Havensight, downtown Charlotte Amalie and easy access to the island's main roads.
You can spend the morning at one beach, head into town for lunch, explore another part of the island in the afternoon and still be home in time to enjoy the sunset.
— LOCAL TIP: DON'T LIMIT YOURSELF TO ONE BEACH —
We often get asked, "What is your favorite Beach?"
The great news is that you have beaches just minutes away—but here's our local advice:
Don't plan your St. Thomas vacation around just one beach!
One of the best parts of visiting the Virgin Islands is exploring. Try a different St. Thomas beach each day, drive to Red Hook and take the ferry to St. John, or get out on the water and explore the British Virgin Islands.
That's why we love this location. You're not tied to one resort or one beach—you have a convenient home base for experiencing everything the island has to offer.
— BEACH DAYS MADE EASIER —
Heading to the beach?
We provide beach chairs and a cooler for our guests, so you can pack some drinks and snacks, choose a beach and enjoy the day.
Then come home, cool off in the A/C and relax while the sun sets over the Caribbean.
— JEEP RENTALS —
We highly recommend having a vehicle if you'd like to really explore St. Thomas.
For added convenience, we have fully loaded Jeeps available to rent, subject to availability.
Having your own Jeep makes it easy to discover different beaches, restaurants, viewpoints and parts of the island on your own schedule.
Just ask us for availability and details.
— BOAT CHARTERS & ISLAND ADVENTURES —
Want to experience more of the Virgin Islands?
We also own Caribbean Blue Boat Charters and Island Life Jeep Tours.
Whether you'd like a day on the water, a trip to St. John or the British Virgin Islands, or an island adventure with local guides, we're happy to help you plan it.
There is absolutely no obligation—we simply love helping our guests experience the islands.
— LOCAL HOSTS & FREE CONCIERGE HELP —

Wondering which beach to visit? Looking for a great restaurant, snorkeling spot, sunset location or something a little less touristy?
Just ask!
Our complimentary concierge help is available to make planning your trip easier. We want you to spend less time researching and more time enjoying St. Thomas.

The unit is just as pictured and was perfect for our party of two. Appreciated the opportunity to rent a jeep as well, which was a definite need. Christy was quick to reply and helpful from pre-booking to departure and we look forward to renting from her again. Thanks for everything!
Christy was fantastic from the time we booked the accommodation through the extent of our stay. The space was bright and clean and the view could not be beat!
Christy was terrific, the studio was exactly as described, rocking chairs and the view from the deck were perfect. Directions to the house were really helpful and accurate.
Views were amazing, tropical and great breeze. Spent a lot of time reading on the deck and enjoying the views day and night!Nicco’s Boutique was recommended by host and that was awesome beautiful clothes and affordable too!
We had an AMAZING stay at Island Life!!! Christy and Dan are amazing hosts and the apartment is clean and has everything you need! The view is stunning and they were incredibly responsive to our questions and helpful with things to do and see. We cannot thank them enough for an incredible stay! We hope to be back!
Nice studio condo perfect for a couple or single person. Christy and her husband were great guests. Rented the jeep and they picked us up and dropped us off at the airport. Beautiful views off the porch. 5 minutes from downtown and close to Bolongo Bay. Very clean unit with everything you need including beach supplies. Will definitely stay again when on island !!
Loved my stay here! Christy & Dan were excellent hosts and the unit had just the right amenities. It's in the perfect location for someone who drove around exploring the island during my entire stay. Such a cute and cozy rental, can't wait to come back soon!
Enjoyed a 2 night stay and the property and view were great. Host was very good at communicating, so I would recommend this place to friends and family. Thanks for a great stay!
The host was very welcoming and the place was well stocked with things to make a stay away from home perfect. Beach chairs, beach towels, coolers, everything needed for a fun beach trip. Loved the view! Would definitely stay again.
The views from the balcony were amazing! We loved watching the ships comw in in the mornings. We rented the jeep and the property was in a great location to drive around and explore. The host and property manager were great at communicating with us.
Perfect place with the best views from inside while cooking or outside while relaxing on the porch. Very clean and was exactly as identified, including the roosters. Easy check in and out and the hosts were very accomodating.

So glad you had a wonderful time in St. Thomas. Come back anytime.
This is our 2nd time staying here. The house is very clean and perfect for 2 people. The view and outdoor space brought us back. This time we rented a Jeep from Kristy. It is ABSOLUTELY the way to go. She picks you up and drops you off at the airport. Last time we waited forever (several hours) for a rental and the whole experience was painful and expensive. RENT THE JEEP!!
The Studio was wonderful with a tranquil view of Frenchman's Bay and spectacular sunsets. Christy and her husband were superb hosts. They have created a wonderful getway close to downtown, but away from the hustle of Charlotte Amalie.
